dates it as 1960s, but the camera looks more ancient. .
WALB went on the air in 1954, and I'd guess these were the original Videcon cameras that signed the station on the air.

Albany, GA was a small town of about 40,000 souls at the time, so no big bucks here.

Several manufacturers of economy TV equipment built slightly oversized cases to make their Videcon cameras look more impressive and look like the big IO cameras used by the larger stations.

Smaller stations often bought the used cameras and equipment when the larger stations upgraded.
